BLOOM have announced a brand new album!
Titled The Light We Chase, the upcoming album from the Australian metalcore band is the follow-up to 2024’s Maybe In Another Life, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Pure Noise Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Jack Van Vliet shares, “in many ways, the album is an oxymoron. You can’t catch light in your hands, and you can’t have darkness without the light casting its shadow. We all have an idea of something perfect. A memory, a vision of the future, a light at the end of the tunnel. The Light We Chase is that perfection. The sublime. The taste of something good. Our widest exploration of how far metalcore can be pushed and shaped, this album is lyrically diverse as it is instrumentally.”
The announcement of the album arrives alongside the release of a brand new single, Withered, which is accompanied by a music video.
Speaking about the new song, Van Vliet shares, “in anything that we do throughout our lives there is a question of worth. Was this relationship worth it? Is my career everything I thought it would be? Is the life I’m living worth all the things I’ve gone through? Withered tackles this question with unflinching honesty, and how the light we chase can be the path to our own ‘desolation.’ In Withered the present is bleak, and grief forces us to wonder if ‘I didn’t hope hard enough’ for the life we dreamed of. The frankness of the song repeats itself as ‘Eight years of my life, dedicated/desolated’ repeats like a mantra for all the things that have been lost, over the heaviest hitting, most distorted, soul wrenching instrumentals over the entire record.”
